This may have something to do with your steam cloud, or steam clown as I like to call it, getting out of sync. As a precaution, you may want to verify your game data, as well. Something might of derped out on you.

there's also nothing more tragic then thinking you got the perfect flank, popping tactical assault, having something go awry and watching their broken ass retreat of doom. :\

may as well try to michael jackson moonwalk back to hq...

Wishing you all the best on your journey towards health and happiness! If that's what your shoulds and wants look like, go for it.

Alright, first off apologies for the tardy reply.

skemshead, gives some good feedback. I'll echo that one game is already an incredibly small sample size, and it's difficult to give feedback when it's even smaller, but thank you for sharing none the less. With that said, my analysis will therefore focus on your low level tactics, which were generally fairly solid, not before just a single point on BO: I questioned the mortar. When his scripts are being really mobile and you don't really have the map control, the mortar on the offensive can be difficult to maximize, and delayed not only your first 60 munitions use, which was well invested in the medic bunker, but also, possibly your lmech.


-- I would try to avoid wood structures, especially those without windows, they will leave your troops vulnerable to nades, especailly molotovs, and the like, sometimes only provide yellow cover + an accuracy modifier and they kill off any DPS provided due to a lack of firing points.

-- Beware of the ambient fire, a couple times you looked too anxious to return to cover and units would take damage from molotovs even though you did well to avoid the initial pop.

-- The pio squad as a combat squad leaves a lot to be desired unless you decide to upgrade to a flamer. I think it would of been a more effective use, trying to harass his flank, this gives you a bit of width and relieves some pressure, and shifts your opponents focus when he has to chase down an annoying pio squad.

So really, I think your overall play was fairly solid, especially around 9:31 when you started to gain some traction and harass, I would personally focus more on your use of support teams, they can be really fragile and in this current patch can't really fight on their own too too efficiently. A good rule of thumb is to keep them behind your mainline combat infantry, it makes them tougher to utilize but they'll provide a lot of pressure, and give you some breathing room to advance, you won't have to worry as much about getting routed from the field and losing more crucial map control. In my mind, your main struggles came when your HMG was in the front, it created holes in your line and conscripts swarmed and flanked your squads, ruining their efficiency. It was around 9:31 when you started to form up and attack with a lot of purpose as a cohesive unit. It might be worth considering in the future to look at this engagement and how you advanced here, getting out of cover and more importantly, by utilizing directional cover you managed to deny the scripts their heavy cover and with focus fire, managed to uproot them, a very good micro maneouver.

Just allow me to close speaking a moment about frustrations. Kholodny east is really a tough start, especially for the Wehrmacht, it can be a really tough fight already, I wouldn't get too flustered over it, but that frustration? It effects your confidence and focus a lot, especially when something doesn't go your way due to the RNG or what not, the pio fight in the north, rifle nade etc. but, that frustration is going to really cloud your judgement and affect your decision making process, like I wonder: I feel like your original plan was to use the pio squad to harass the north flank, it lost a fight that yeah it probably wins 90% of the time, so in your frustration you never went back to that option, which, rationally is still probably the most efficient use of the unit. In a game where micro and overall strategy isn't very taxing, low level tactical decision making, is going to be where games are won and lost. Personally I'd try harder to keep that in check, rather than have it spill over into the chat.

Thank you for sharing, I hope this feedback may help you and anyone who watches.

I find actually competing at a high level to be really exhausting. I'll do prep work, reading, writing visualization and not quite meditation but trying to find some calm before jumping in. I usually start strong and by my 5th game, especially depending on how the previous have gone, ill usually start to notice my decision making process start to wane and get cloudier or certainly at least more questionable upon review. that's what I mean by mindset prep I guess coming in with plans and being able to make the most efficient decisions, whilst being cognicent of both you and your opponents rationale, and having the ability to execute those decisions will allow you t'go far.
